Seconded. But: There is no such thing as the “god-given talents” that this comment on the book mentions. In fact there are no “talents” at all. What we see as our talents, is just stuff where we, out of random luck, had a good balance of too hard and too easy tasks, and some positive personal associations with. But you can just as well balance that out yourself for something else. The more of a close call the success is, the better.
I prefer to think what could be done better. E.g. things that annoy me. Things that could be automated but aren’t. But most of all, things that could be generalized. (Using your brain’s pattern detector.) And then after a bit of planning (mostly brainstorming), I set my tasks to be as hard as I can on average handle. (You can nearly always split up or combine tasks to adjust this.)
You can see how little scruple companies like the Catholic church have, when they dig up your remains to bury them again, just to make themselves look (not be, remember, Pope Kiddiefiddler) good...
You mean the fastest plane in the world that you got told about! Frankly, since you haven’t measured it yourself, how do you even know you got told the truth?
But hey, go ahead and prove that anything other than you actually exists!;))
The joke with those comparisons is always, that the actual differences have nothing to do with the commentaries. They often “see” differences, when there are none. And in this case he also overlooked a difference. Also the original uncompressed images are not provided. Hence you can’t even know if it is a artifact or in the original image.
Try it for yourself. Use something like: (ImageMagick)
GP poster’s idea was: “If I’ll look long enough, I’ll find something to support my views.” But when he couldn’t find anything, he gave up and had an ingenious idea: “Let THEM find it. If they find nothing, I just tell them they haven’t looked close enough. And I’ll say it was done to support their views, to distract from the fact that I do it to support my views. It’s perfect!”;)
In other words: If we would need it, it would already have been invented. (...shortly after the first SMS in 1992, not now at the end of phones just having the default numeric keypad.)
You seem to have intentionally ignored the fact that it was meant in a way that you could draw the symbols yourself, with the keys, because of its low resolution.
What are they inventing this NOW for? It could have been useful back in 1992. But nowadays phones have full keyboards or touch screens, and the older methods (e.g. T9) die quickly.
But considering how they practically re-“invent” hieroglyphs, I will await their coming re-invention of another very old idea: The wheel!
But what city is the United States of the United States of the United States? And who is the American of the United States of the United States of the United States?

Still wrong. Conservative just means “I like it how it is. Don’t change anything.”. That’s it. You know: From “conserve”.
Everything else is just made up shit interpreted into it, like in the South Park episode “Scrotie McBoogerballs”. Typical behavior of mentally ill (e.g. fundamentalists).
And come on. If a human with a working brain really can simplify his views to a binary choice on one dimension, he already has some mental problems to deal with...
My next project makes such a kind of dependence... on people deciding over others, be it as a government or anything like that.... obsolete. Yes, you understood that correctly: It will make a humans in a government obsolete. It will be the ultimate direct democracy.
Well, let’s see... even if it fails, I will at least have tried, and learned how to do it better the next time. What have you done today?
The problem is really, that we finally have to recognize religion as a mental illness, and fundamentalism to be full-blown schizophrenia, and get them into closed mental hospitals when they pose dangers like these. But they always need help. Fast.
Of course the problem is that most of the population already is infected. So this would create some kind of lynch mob of armed idiots. But hey, that’s not more of an excuse than it would be for not stopping a armed mafia or militia.
It’s like the opposite of the gay thing: With gays they first saw it as a disease, and later found out all those processes is child growth that make some people like the same sex in many different ways. With religion we first saw it as normal, and have to start seeing it as a disease.
Often repeating that statement does not make it true. Because if “those” now control everything, then how do the last who controlled the past still control the future? We can just as easily skew it back.
Why is it always the evil and stupid who have the biggest balls to run with fucking up the word to match their views? We fear that oh, we can’t do that. But they just do! Of course they then win!
Are you cattle or what? Create a party! Vote a small party! Rise up! There are tons of ways.
But nooo. “My master did only offer me those two options, so I can only choose those two.” Bitch bitch bitch. What a good little indoctrinated drone you are!
I. Hate. People. With. A. Tiny. Confined. Mind. You can replace them all with a very small shell script, and not notice the difference.
Yep, that was not nice of me. But sometimes enough is just enough.
But what you forgot, is that gravity itself bends the space trough with the hypothetical graviton travels. Unless gravity really is something completely different...
Protip: It is generally assumed that a little half-joking “algorithm” does not describe the physics of a complex interaction dynamic in real life in every detail of its entirety.;)

Weeel, guess who has something to gain from this... regarding the recent... well... scandal..?
You can see how little scruple companies like the Catholic church have, when they dig up your remains to bury them again, just to make themselves look (not be, remember, Pope Kiddiefiddler) good...
You mean by narrowing down their choices to really only what you want?
You are right. That actually works perfectly for the two-party system.
Except for the analog controls, I don’t see where the N900 does not beat it in any way...
I agree. If everything is controlled trough puppets, I at least praise those puppets that agree with me the most. :)
Only if people fight it. Considering your average population is 90% cattle, I wouldn’t bet on that.

Of course they are! Because they all become lossless! Every codec looks perfect if you just up the bitrate enough.
If you want to see how good a codec is, making the bitrate as low as possible is the point. You lower and lower it, and see who fails first.
In other words: If we would need it, it would already have been invented. (...shortly after the first SMS in 1992, not now at the end of phones just having the default numeric keypad.)
Germany does unfornatually but they're not the EU in the same way the UK isn't.
They’re not... isn’t... wait, what? They are both not the EU, but differently? *head explodes*
You seem to have intentionally ignored the fact that it was meant in a way that you could draw the symbols yourself, with the keys, because of its low resolution.
But I agree on the “dumbest idea” statement. :)

But it doesn’t have to be that way!
WTF? You actually picked up on that Glenn Beck definition of “progressivists”?
There in nothing else to say anymore. You’re officially mentally distorted beyond the point of no return. Please go and shoot yourself now. Thanks.
FUCKING NEITHER?? DUH! Is that so hard to grasp?
